When I was younger, I was friends with two brothers named:

Britain and Crossley.

I love the names, but a lot of my friends don't. What do you think?

Britain seems more feminine than masculine to me, somehow. If you don't mind me asking, did Crossley go by any nicknames, or just his full first name?

I like them both.

I've been lurking, but your post has inspired me to comment!

I had a great uncle named James Britain, but he always went by simply Britain. I love it and have actually thought about using it myself.

Crossley is actually a pretty nice, name, too.

I don't like either.

I think they go together nicely in a set. But I also think that Britain would be better suited as a middle name. Maybe if he had a more normal name as a first name that he could fall back on.

I don't care for Crossley, but I have to say I like Britain :)
I've never considered it as a name, but it's interesting!

I thought they were girls' names before I saw that they were brothers.

I really don't like them at all. Especially Crossley. Bleh.
